yep that's similar to the line taken by some of the philosophers i cite at the bottom of the essay! Deleuze and Guattari and Brian Massumi in particular.

Yess and there are also similarities between Gnosticism and Buddhism I think? Probably if I knew more about Buddhist or Taoist philosophy I'd understand Okina a lot better.

Thankyou so much for your thoughts, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

I can see how a Gnostic reading would be relevant here tbh, although I prefer to see it as two different systems for organising the world rather than one of them being the 'original' and the other fake.

Abstract I guess: "Whilst you can read the titular taboo as that against crossing or opening up boundaries between worlds, I don’t think that’s the end of it. What Renko’s theory implies is potentially much more disruptive, even to the nature of Gensokyo itself."
